Biography
Anna joined the University of York in 2022 as Lecturer in British Politics. Her research is interested in bringing together the areas of gender, elections and public policy. She is particularly interested in the gendered impacts of policies, and how they influence differences in the ways that men and women vote.
Before joining the University of York, Anna was based as Research Associate at the University of Manchester where she worked on an ESRC Productivity Institute funded project, 'The UK-Productivity Governance Puzzle: Are UK's Governing Institutions Fit for Purpose in the 21st Century?’.
Anna holds a PhD from the University of Manchester (2020), which in 2021 was awarded the Political Studies Association’s McDougall Trust Prize for best thesis in the field of elections, electoral systems and representation. Previously, she held a visiting position at Purdue Policy Research Institute in Indiana, and research positions in local government and Parliament. Anna holds an MA in Political Science from the University of Manchester (2016) and a BA in Politics from Queen Mary, University of London (2015).
